Open pdf documents in a new window - SharePoint Online

Is it possible to Show link to document in SharePoint if file_x0020_type is PDF and add a link to open file in native PDF using JSON formatting? Happy News Year and thanks in advance.

Hi patrickige do you mean something like this?

{
  "$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/v2/column-formatting.schema.json",
  
  "elmType": "a",
  "txtContent":"=@currentWeb + '/Shared%20Documents/' + [$FileLeafRef]",
  "attributes": {
    "href": "=@currentWeb + '/Shared%20Documents/' + [$FileLeafRef]",
    "target": "_blank"
  },
  "style": { "display": "=if(substring([$FileLeafRef], indexOf([$FileLeafRef], '.') + 1, indexOf([$FileLeafRef] + '^', '^'))== 'pdf', 'block', 'none')" }
}
